What do I have to do to copy a complete workspace from one computer to another and be simply able to continue working on it on the other computer?
Best way is to copy the . metadata folder to a new folder and open that folder in Eclipse Workspace dialog box. Show activity on this post. Just copy the whole workspace on your local file system.
To use this feature, first open the workspace that contains your customised layout. Then select File > Switch Workspace > Other… which will open a dialog prompting you for an existing/new workspace. Select the workspace, then click the Copy Settings collapsible section.
Click File > Import > General. Click Existing Projects into Workspace. You can edit the project directly in its original location or choose to create a copy of the project in the workspace.
In general, a filesystem copy should be sufficient. If you run into problems with your projects, try removing the project from the workspace (without deleting the files) and then re-add the project, which will rebuild the metadata.
